Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen - Columbia/Legacy Canadian
This is the second of two editions of Stranger Songs falling during CKCU’s annual funding drive for 2024 – and something that I do every year on the second Stranger Songs funding drive show is addendums to past themes. More often than not, when I choose a theme for Stranger Songs, there are more possible songs to choose from than I can include – and sometimes new music that fits the theme arrives after the show has been produced. So, I’ve chosen a few of the themes from the past year for addendums.
